Longmont Museum

The Longmont Museum has a Honkytonk exhibit through April 11.  In addition to all the very hands-on exhibits the museum usually features, this particular gem includes a stage with an electric guitar (plugged in to a speaker), an acoustic guitar and a piano, as well as basic instruction on how to play the instruments.  The kids can handle the instruments in any way they like and can play for as long as they like.  Very fun.  Tonight they had a bluegrass concert.  Spencer liked a bit of it, but he's only 2, so his attention span is short and we ended up playing with the interactive watertable display.  They also have a great observatory room upstairs, including costumes, books, an amazing view, blocks, magnet fun, and a lot of other things to touch, try out and explore.  We really like the museum; it is appropriate for a surprisingly young age, and the kids can touch an astonishing number of things.  It is free (or "donations accepted," so as much as you feel like dropping into the display container) and completely worth your time.  Spencer had a lot of fun.

My husband came home tonight, and it is so nice to have our family back together again.
